THE "Keep The Whites Up" campaign has gained momentum following Monday night's dramatic victory over Spurs.

We launched our campaign to rally vital support for Sam Allardyce's men in the last few games of the season.

The fans responded on Monday night when Wanderers took a giant step towards avoiding relegation, defeating Spurs 1-0.

And Sam Allardyce and his players have acknowledged the contribution the fans made with the rousing support and are banking on repeat performances as the battle for Premiership survival intensifies over the remaining seven games.

There was an air of apprehension in the first half as Spurs threatened to upset the Reebok crowd but the vocal support in response to the team's relentless attacks was inspiring.

"They were rather quiet in the first half but I don't think we did that much in front of goal to get them on the edge of their seats," Allardyce observed, "but we did that in the second half and it wasn't just spasms of attacks but a constant build up of pressure on the Tottenham defence, which was opened up on several occasions before we finally got the penalty we deserved.

"I think the supporters saw the difference in the players' performance and decided they would get up, get shouting and get behind us and not just for a short time but for a long and sustained period. They kept the momentum of the team going."

Jay-Jay Okocha, who kept his nerve to convert the penalty that earned Wanderers a vital victory with virtually the last kick of the game, praised the Reebok crowd for playing their part. "I have to say that I thought they were understanding," said the midfield showman. "They all know about our situation and I think they realised they could be our number 12 - and they were."

Youri Djorkaeff shared his delight with the supporters and with Allardyce, who now has time to take stock before preparing his squad for the Reebok derby with Manchester City on Saturday week.

"It was a great atmosphere again," the Frenchman said in a personal tribute to the fans. "I think the people understand and I am happy.

"I am happy for the manager because he can have a nice four or five days."
